Sydney leaking toilet specialists

The crew that fixes leaking and running toilets across Sydney every day

Running cisterns, base leaks and phantom flushes are everyday work for us; not a job we squeeze in around bigger ones. That means we arrive with the common inlet and outlet valves, flush washers and pan collars already on the truck, so most toilets are fixed and tested on the first visit.

From a cistern that never stops hissing in Randwick to water quietly pooling around the pan of a rental in Cronulla, our licensed Sydney plumbers have repaired thousands of toilets the right way; by finding the exact failed part, replacing it and pressure-testing the result, not by cable-tying the float and hoping. Every job ends with the toilet holding water, flushing cleanly and a plain explanation of what was leaking.

Before vs After

What changes when a licensed plumber fixes the leak properly?

A leaking toilet is one of the easiest jobs to bodge; and the most expensive when a rushed “fix” hides a base leak that keeps rotting the floor. Here is exactly what shifts when a licensed Sydney plumber handles it instead of a DIY patch or a handyman.

Before

DIY patch or a handyman

  • The visible symptom has no confirmed source
  • A repair is chosen before the cause is checked
  • Access or price changes are left unexplained
  • The same symptom returns without further testing
  • There is no clear handover record
Licensed Fixed Today plumber giving a thumbs up

After

Licensed Fixed Today repair

  • The fault is checked with a suitable diagnostic method
  • The likely cause and repair options are explained
  • The scope and price are approved before paid work
  • The result is tested before handover
  • Relevant invoice, warranty and compliance records are supplied
What you’ll actually get

The exact thread you’ll see on repair booking day

No marketing fluff. Every leaking toilet customer gets a thread like this on the day; booked, plumber assigned, ETA, vehicle ID, knock at the door. You always know what’s next.

  1. Booked

    A real plumber assigned, in writing.

    Your 2-hour window, plumber name, vehicle and the exact job; confirmed by SMS within minutes. Not a queue, not a callback.

  2. Routed

    Live ETA, refreshed as they drive.

    Once your plumber leaves the depot the ETA SMS auto-refreshes. No need to call and ask whether they’re still coming.

  3. Warned

    5-minute heads-up at the door.

    We text when the plumber is 5 minutes away, including vehicle and plate so you know who’s knocking before you open the door.

  4. Honoured

    Late-fee waiver, automatic.

    Miss the window without warning and the call-out portion of your invoice is automatically waived. No claim form, no negotiation.

On-Time, Live

We turn up when we say we will; here is the proof

Every leaking toilet job we attended today, with the booked window, the actual arrival time, and whether we hit it. We publish the misses too; and waive the call-out fee when we cause one.

Why licensing matters

Licensed plumber vs. unlicensed worker

Plumbing work in NSW must be carried out by a licensed plumber. It is not just a formality, licensing protects your home, your insurance, and your right to recourse if something goes wrong.

Licensed plumber

What you get

  • Work is insured and meets the National Plumbing Code
  • Compliance Certificate issued for every job
  • Home insurance and warranty stay valid
  • Statutory warranty backed by NSW Fair Trading
  • Clear path to dispute resolution if needed
Unlicensed worker

What you risk

  • Work may breach the NSW Plumbing and Drainage Act
  • No Compliance Certificate: issues at resale
  • Home insurance claims commonly denied
  • No statutory warranty on the work performed
  • Limited recourse: Fair Trading cannot assist
Our NSW Plumbing Licence 236784C Fixed Today Plumbing Pty Ltd

Most home insurance policies will not pay out for damage caused by unlicensed plumbing work. A burst hot water unit from a non-compliant install can void cover on the entire claim, often tens of thousands of dollars.

Called about a running toilet that was wasting water. They sent someone the same afternoon and it was sorted within an hour. Flat rate pricing, no call-out fee, and the plumber was friendly and knowledgeable. Exactly the kind of service you want.

Our hot water system died on a Friday night. Fixed Today came out Saturday morning, diagnosed the issue, and gave us clear options with pricing before starting any work. New system installed same day. Professional, punctual, and genuinely helpful.

Hot Water Bondi
Angela Kowalski Trustpilot

Fixed Today replaced our old gas hot water system with a new continuous flow unit. The technician explained all the options, helped us choose the right size for our household, and completed the install in half a day. Clean, professional, and the pricing matched the quote exactly.

Hot Water Castle Hill

Used Fixed Today for a stormwater drainage issue at our property. They did a camera inspection, showed me the footage, and explained the options clearly. The repair work was completed on schedule and they followed up a week later to check everything was flowing properly.

Solid work on our kitchen mixer tap replacement. The plumber suggested a better quality tap than what I originally picked and it’s been great. Fair pricing and tidy workmanship. Would recommend to neighbours.

A short editorial guide written by our senior plumbers. No fluff, no scare tactics; just the checks and habits that catch a leaking toilet early, and how to tell a proper repair from a lazy patch.

Homeowner checks

The six habits that keep a toilet leak-free

  • Dye-test the cistern every few months
  • Know the real causes of a toilet leak
  • Don’t ignore water pooling at the base
  • Treat a rising water bill as a clue
  • Check the float and water level
  • Know what a proper repair looks like
Quote checklist

Walk-away signs on a leaking toilet job

  • They silicone the base instead of renewing the collar
  • They bend or cable-tie the float instead of replacing the valve
  • No price given until the cistern is already apart
  • A running toilet “fixed” without any dye test
  • Cheapest universal parts fitted regardless of your pressure
  • No workmanship warranty on the repair
